Courses Offered
Sha-Shib Aerospace & Engineering is one of the prestigious institutes across the country, which offers Aircraft Maintenance Engineering course under the guidelines of Director General of Civil Aviation, Ministry of Civil Aviation, and Government of India. SAE is offers AME curriculum in both (B1.1) Mechanical & (B2) Avionics categories.
Course Overview: Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) is a specialized course that focuses on the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of aircraft and their components. It involves ensuring that aircraft are in safe operating condition through scheduled maintenance, inspections, and repairs. Here are some key points about the AME course:
-
Regulatory Compliance: AME courses are usually regulated by aviation authorities in different countries, such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States or the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in Europe. Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India. These regulations set the standards for training, licensing, and certification of aircraft maintenance engineers.
-
Curriculum: The curriculum typically covers a wide range of subjects, including aircraft systems, avionics, powerplant maintenance, aerodynamics, materials and structures, human factors, aviation regulations, and safety procedures. Practical training in workshops and hands-on experience with real aircraft are also integral parts of the course.
-
Licensing and Certification: Upon completion of the AME course, students usually have to aquired specified maintenance experience, pass examinations and other relevent requirements as specified & administered by the relevant aviation authority to obtain their aircraft maintenance engineer license. This license allows them to work on specific types of aircraft and perform maintenance tasks according to the regulations.
-
Specializations: AME students often have the opportunity to specialize in particular areas of aircraft maintenance, such as airframe and powerplant (A&P) maintenance, avionics, or specific types of aircraft (e.g., helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, commercial jets, etc.).
-
Career Opportunities: sucessful Aircraft Maintenance Engineers have a wide range of career opportunities in the aviation industry. They can work for airlines, aircraft manufacturers, maintenance and repair organizations (MROs), government aviation agencies, and other organizations involved in aviation maintenance and engineering.
-
Continuous Learning: The aviation industry is constantly evolving, with new technologies, aircraft models, and regulations being introduced regularly. As a result, AMEs are expected to engage in continuous learning and professional development throughout their careers to stay updated with the latest advancements and maintain their license.
Overall, Aircraft Maintenance Engineering is a rigorous and rewarding course that prepares students for a challenging and fulfilling career in the aviation industry, ensuring the safety and airworthiness of aircraft.
